    Hood Alignment Question

    I got it! I adjusted the latch up about 1/32" and it looks much better. I also adjusted the rubber stop up a bit to match. The front seam looks pretty even now all the way across. As always, and it's not said enough, thanks Jon!

    Hood Alignment Question

    The front passenger side of my hood ('00 GTS) comes awfully close to the headlight assembly. I'd say 1/32" clearance or closer in that corner where it aligns with the facia. The corner is the only close spot. The driver's side is fine. When I run my finger over the seam on the drivers side, the...

    Break-in Question

    So, if the majority of initial miles put on a '00 or '01 are on the highway (varying speed and taking off-ramps), should we assume that it may take more than 1000 miles to break in the engine? Conversely, if the majority of initial miles are driven in town, maybe signal to signal type of...

    00GTS-Black overspray on red side sill

    Yes, the car is new. It looks like maybe the factory was touching up the side sills and didn't quite mask off all of the side exhaust cover. I don't think the clear coat is over the black overspray. It's almost like I could scrape it off with my fingernail, but I'm afraid I'll scratch the paint.

    00GTS-Black overspray on red side sill

    Now that I've had an opportunity to give my new GTS the "once-over", I noticed that there is some black paint overspray on the red side sill covers (factory option? ;-)) Is there a way to easily and SAFELY remove the overspray without harming the original red paint?

    Lotus Esprit comments

    I'm 6'4" tall. The only Lotus I've found that I could fit in was an Elise (no top). And even then, my legs were cramped. So I got a Vette ZR1 ('95..LT5 designed by Lotus). It fits me fine as does my '00 GTS (after Northwind's 2" seat lowering kit and Sean Roe's clutch pedal kit). I also tried...

    Break-in?

    Now wait a minute....the original document stated 200 mile increments up to 1000 miles, and then "you're ready to rumble"! Is there other documentation that states a 2500 mile break-in process? Or is it more like the diesel trucks...pamper for 1000 miles, but the engine isn't truely "broken-in"...

    Break-in?

    I just changed my oil after putting 200 miles on my 00GTS. There were definitely metal particles stuck to the drain pan magnet. It was tough to stay under 2500rpm, but I am committed to following the previous posts break-in procedure! Next oil change at 1000mi.

    Garage lifts

    I also have the Cytech. It's a great unit. And as stated previously, very heavy. I have a Mack truck (for the farm), so I picked it up at the local trucking port of delivery here in Portland. I also have a loading dock that we backed the truck up to in order to unload using a fork lift. As...

    How many of you bought NEW?

    Unless you live next door to the dealer, or you have one delivered to your house, it's not likely that you'll be able to watch it "roll off the truck". The drivers simply do not have the time to wait for you to arrive. I bought mine new. My local dealer gave me the best price I could find...

    Northwind Engineering 2" seat lowering kit

    Northwind Engineering 2\" seat lowering kit I'm trying to install a Northwind Engineering 2" seat lowering kit on my '00 GTS (non-ACR). Are the "posts" on the kit supposed to be pointing up? Or down (resting on the floor)? The installation is not going very well. I can't seem to get the holes...

    Has anyone installed the 2" seat lowering kit from Northwind on a '00 GTS?

    Has anyone installed the 2\" seat lowering kit from Northwind on a \'00 GTS? I'm trying to install a Northwind Engineering 2" seat lowering kit on my '00 GTS (non-ACR). Are the "posts" on the kit supposed to be pointing up? Or down (resting on the floor)? The installation is not going very...

    How do I get those clips off?

    Nevermind....it just took a LARGE flat tip screwdriver to push while a small flat tip screwdriver pried the safety catch on the clip! As soon as I got the new arm in, I got a call from Sean Roe to provide assistance! Now, remember that it's Sunday, I just sent the guy an email last night, and...

    How do I get those clips off?

    I'm trying to install Sean Roe's clutch pedal adjustment kit on my '00 GTS. It should be a five minute job, but after a couple of bloody knuckles and two hours, I'm asking for help! I can't seem to get those clips off to remove the original lever. I even removed the seat for better access...

    My '00 is in "I" Status!!!

    My \'00 is in \"I\" Status!!! My '00 GTS finally made it to I status. For those of you who order cars from dealers without a large allocation, you may expect similar time frames. If you purchase from a volume dealer, such as Woodhouse, Fitzgerald, Roanoke, etc., you'll get your cars quicker...
